Crews battled a blazing bus fire on the New Jersey Turnpike on Thursday morning.
The fire broke out on the bus on the northbound eastern spur of the turnpike in Secaucus, before the approach to exit 15X.
The bus was pulled off on the right side of the roadway headed toward the Lincoln Tunnel. The driver apparently pulled over when the bus started to catch fire.
Traffic was spotted squeezing by as the bus was fully engulfed in flames before authorities could shut traffic down on that side of the road.

The northbound eastern spur was eventually closed for fire department activity. On the southbound side, one lane was closed.
Firefighters monitored the scene of a bus fire on the New Jersey Turnpike in Secaucus early Thursday morning.
The fire was put out a short time later, but firefighters remained on the scene as the bus smoldered.
So far, there is no report of any injuries.
